MCP client conformance
Runs the official MCP conformance suite against pi's MCP client and compares the result with a committed baseline.
npm run test:mcp-conformance
CI runs it in the mcp-conformance job of .github/workflows/ci.yml. Requires network access the first time, to fetch the pinned suite (@modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.2.0-alpha.11) with npx. Install scripts are disabled. Needs a POSIX shell.
How it works
For every protocol version pi negotiates (2025-03-26, 2025-06-18, 2025-11-25), run.ts lists the suite's client scenarios and runs them one at a time. The suite starts a scenario server and runs client.ts against it.
client.ts uses the code pi runs for an HTTP server in mcp.json: McpServerConnection connects and calls tools, and signInMcpServer runs the OAuth sign-in that /mcp starts. A simulated browser fetches the authorization URL and delivers the redirect to pi's loopback callback server. When the server asks for sign-in again (for example for more scope), the simulated user signs in again, up to three times.
Every check the suite reports is compared with baseline.json. The extra pi-client check records whether client.ts completed the scenario. Some scenarios expect the client to give up (auth/scope-retry-limit), so it is baselined like the others.
The run fails when:
- a check that passes in the baseline fails or is missing,
- a check fails that the baseline does not list as failing,
- a baselined scenario did not run.
Checks that started passing are reported; update the baseline to lock them in.

node packages/coding-agent/test/mcp-conformance/run.ts --update-baseline
--mode,--scenario: run a subset (repeatable).--verbose: print the suite's output, including each check and the client's log.--keep-results: keep the suite'schecks.jsonand client output.--update-baseline: write the results of a full run tobaseline.json. Review the diff; do not regenerate it to hide a regression.
Known failures
elicitation-sep1034-client-defaults: pi does not support elicitation.auth/basic-cimd: pi registers clients dynamically instead of using a Client ID Metadata Document.auth/scope-retry-limit:pi-clientfails by design; the server never accepts the granted scope.
2026-07-28 is not covered: it is a stateless protocol pi does not implement.
